I've attempted this all time classic only twice,and both times I had been astonished about two things; 1)How simply a dish to create. 2)And how could I have waited so long to make it again.

This pickled fish recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try using less chili next time.
